THE SHALOM CHALLENGE STORY

A nation ripped apart by Covid.
Can we bring us back together?

You know what 2020 looked like

Vaccines. Masks. Trump vs. Biden.
People hurting each other. Hating each other.

At a time we needed to come together more than ever, life was forcing us apart.
Could a 4-week program help us cross the divide and reconnect?

4 weeks. 20,000 families. 500+ stories of peace.

Someone I'm close to had an important medical appointment so I sponsored a Torah class as a zechus, but despite my reminders, they used my sponsorship on the wrong day. I was really mad, but I thought about the Shalom challenge and stayed silent.

During our family purim pic each kid does as they please and it's a race against the clock - basically, overwhelming. This year when I felt myself getting frustrated, I kept my cool and stayed silent.
